Warren,

Here is the complete story:

My person recollection of the story was a bit fuzzy.

I can recall spending many a late night out there re-rigging the control
surfaces on the Prowler (Navy EA-6B) when I worked in Quality Assurance.

The
Airframes guys would make an adjustment and we'd have to witness the
'throws' to ensure all was within specs. That dam Hydraulic Genny was
screaming and the hydraulics were whining- It's no wonder I lost most of

my
hearing.

All that 'so we could 'make the flight schedule'. Now it's somebody

else's
turn to 'wrench on those jets'.

You QA guys get that "partial ejection" incident in an A-6 figgered out?
